-A set of DFDs produces a logical model of the system, but the details within those DFDs are documented separately in a data dictionary, which is the second component of this.

Question 3

One of the firm's beginner analysts is working on a financial process that will continue to print vendor payments until it reaches the end of the file. Which of the following processes will Evan suggest that the analyst use?

Accepted Answer

The process described involves repeating a certain task (printing vendor payments) until the end of the file is reached. This is best achieved through iteration, which allows a specific set of instructions to be repeated until a certain condition is met (in this case, reaching the end of the file). Therefore, the analyst should use iteration to complete this financial process.

Question 4

Which of the following will NOT be developed if they decide to use the four-model approach?

Accepted Answer

The four-model approach consists of developing a physical model and a logical model of both the current system and the new system. A teleological model is not part of this approach and therefore will not be developed.

-Ensures that the input and output data flows of the parent DFD are maintained on the child DFD.

Accepted Answer

Balancing is the technique used in DFD that ensures that the input and output data flows of the parent DFD are maintained on the child DFD.

Question 7

On what structure(s) is modular design based? Briefly define each of the structure types.
1. Sequence. The completion of steps in sequential order, one after another. One or more of the steps might represent a subprocess that contains additional logical structures.
2. Selection. The completion of one of two or more process steps based on the results of a test or condition.
3. Iteration. The completion of a process step that is repeated until a specific condition changes. An example of iteration is a process that continues to print paychecks until it reaches the end of the payroll file. Iteration also is called looping.Sequence, selection, and iteration structures can be combined in various ways to describe processing logic.

Question 9

Another of the firm's analysts has been pounding his head against his desk for 10 minutes because he cannot figure out what is wrong with some structured English he has been using to describe the processing logic. Evan walks over and spots the problem in an instant. Which of the following can be what Evan identifies as the problem?

Accepted Answer

The structured English is not using a sequence, selection, or iteration structure. This is likely causing confusion in the processing logic, making it difficult to understand and troubleshoot. By identifying this issue and implementing proper structured English, the analyst can make the logic easier to follow and debug. The other options (indentation, limited vocabulary, and shorthand notation) may contribute to issues in structured English, but are not necessarily the problem in this scenario.

Question 12

If they pursue the four-model approach, which of the following is a likely outcome?

Accepted Answer

Pursuing the four-model approach may result in high costs because it involves analyzing, designing, testing, and implementing the system using four different models, which may require extensive resources and expertise. The other options are not necessarily likely outcomes of pursuing this approach.
